Inmigrantes tienen niveles más altos de ataques de pánico y ansiedad, y poca ayuda

[FluxForge]

Las personas inmigrantes en el área de Chicago enfrentan niveles más altos de ataques de pánico, ansiedad y estres, según varios proveedores de servicios en español y para latinos. La campaña de deportación reforzada de la administración de Trump ha causado un impacto significativo en su vida diaria y salud mental.

Las clínicas sin fines de lucro como el Centro Sanar en Chicago han visto una demanda aumentada de servicios, pero enfrentan desafíos financieros debido a congelaciones de fondos gubernamentales. La organización ha intentado mantenerse al día con la demanda ampliando las sesiones de terapia grupal.

Las personas inmigrantes también están experimentando un aumento en el estrés y la ansiedad, según una encuesta de KFF y el New York Times. Los inmigrantes, con diversos estatus, reportaron haber experimentado un aumento del estrés y la ansiedad, y un empeoramiento de condiciones como la hipertensión este año.

Para abordar esto, los practicantes en el ámbito del bienestar están ofreciendo maneras de aliviar la ansiedad elevada a través de yoga, meditación, Reiki y terapia somática. La Casa de Cultura de 18th St. recientemente abrió un nuevo espacio, Casa Ilumina, que ofrece talleres de medicina herbal, meditación y terapia somática.

Las personas inmigrantes también están buscando otros medios para la sanación, como la conexión con su comunidad y el apoyo emocional. La importancia de la conexión social y del apoyo emocional no puede ser subestimada en momentos difíciles, según Lu Rocha, trabajadora social clínica licenciada.

Las personas que han experimentado traumas debido a la vida en sus países de origen están comenzando a buscar ayuda. El trauma altera no solo las emociones de una persona, sino también su estado psicológico y físico. La atención y el apoyo son necesarios para ayudar a las personas a procesar sus experiencias y recuperarse.

En resumen, la campaña de deportación reforzada de la administración de Trump ha causado un impacto significativo en la salud mental de las personas inmigrantes en el área de Chicago. Los proveedores de servicios en español y para latinos están trabajando para abordar este problema, ofreciendo talleres comunitarios, terapia individual y grupal, así como apoyo emocional. La conexión con su comunidad y el apoyo emocional son esenciales para ayudar a las personas a superar estos desafíos.

Ugh I'm literally so exhausted thinking about all these ppl who are going thru this like can't we just acknowledge that deportation policies are having a MASSIVE impact on mental health? It's not even like it's being treated as a serious issue, ppl just wanna know if they're gonna get deported or not, no one cares about the trauma they're experiencing . And meanwhile, these clinics are struggling to keep up with demand due to funding issues . I mean come on, how can we expect ppl to heal when we won't even provide them with basic resources? It's so frustrating and heartbreaking at the same time . We need to do better than just throwing some yoga classes and herbal remedies at the problem... we need systemic change .

This is just heartbreaking... The increased attacks of panic, anxiety and stress on the immigrant community in Chicago is just too much to handle. I'm so sorry that they're having to go through this due to the stricter deportation policies. It's like, we should be supporting each other, not tearing people apart from their families and communities.

I've seen some amazing work being done by clinics like Centro Sanar in Chicago, offering free or low-cost services, but it's just not enough . We need more resources and funding to help these organizations keep up with the demand. And what about mental health? It's like, we're treating people for their physical health, but neglecting their emotional well-being .

But amidst all this negativity, I want to highlight some awesome initiatives that are happening . Like, the Casa de Cultura de 18th St.'s new space, Casa Ilumina, which is offering yoga, meditation, Reiki and more to help people cope with anxiety and stress . And let's not forget about the importance of community and support . We need to be there for each other, especially during tough times.

We can't just sit back and watch this happen . We need to raise our voices, advocate for change, and support organizations that are making a difference . Let's make a conscious effort to be more compassionate and understanding towards those who are going through this .

this is so unfair people are suffering and nobody is doing anything about it immigration policies are causing so much stress and anxiety what's the point of having a system if we're not going to support those who need help most? also, why do we have to choose between being safe or being free? shouldn't we be able to live without fear of deportation every day? these people are just trying to make a living and start a new life, but the system is making it impossible for them. can't we find a way to balance security with compassion and empathy?

@SarahKim: omg yes! I've seen so many friends and family members struggle with anxiety and depression because of these policies what's being done to address this issue?

@LatinxLover: it's not just about mental health, it's also about economic stability and access to basic human rights we need to recognize the intersectionality of these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable system

It's like, the more we try to control and understand the world around us, the more it seems to slip through our fingers. The fact that people are struggling so much with anxiety, stress, and trauma is just another reminder of how complex and messy human experience can be . We need to acknowledge that there's no one-size-fits-all solution here, and that sometimes, all someone needs is a listening ear or a gentle touch . I worry about the people who are struggling to find help, who feel like they're falling through the cracks . Can we do better? Should we be doing more to support those who are already feeling vulnerable? I don't have the answers, but I do know that we need to keep trying to understand and connect with each other on a deeper level

So I think this is super concerning... the increased stress and anxiety levels among immigrants in Chicago due to the Trump deportation campaign is crazy . It's like, they're already dealing with so much uncertainty and hardship, and now they have to deal with their mental health too? . And it's not just them, their families are affected too... it's a whole community thing .

I think we need to do more than just offer yoga and meditation classes (don't get me wrong, those things are great, but like, what about the real issues here?) . We need to address the systemic problems that are causing this stress and anxiety in the first place. Like, why can't we have a more compassionate immigration system? .

And what's with the lack of funding for these clinics that are trying to help people? It's like, they're doing their best with what they have, but it's just not enough . We need to support our communities and provide them with the resources they need to thrive .

I feel so bad for those people in Chicago who are going through this . Deportation campaigns can be really tough on ppl's mental health, you know? It's like, they're already stressed out about their lives, and then there's this extra weight of fear and uncertainty hanging over them.

I think it's awesome that there are orgs like Centro Sanar offering free services and support groups to help people cope. And it's great to see ppl in the community coming together to make a difference . Yoga, meditation, and Reiki can be really helpful for anxiety and stress relief too .

But what really gets me is that these people have been through trauma and are now trying to heal . They need our support and understanding, not just financial help or government policy changes . We should all try to be more empathetic and listen to their stories, you know? It's like, we're all human beings, we all deserve compassion and kindness .

I wish there were more resources available for ppl struggling with mental health issues . Maybe some DIY solutions could help too? Like, have ppl start a support group in their own communities or create a resource page online with hotlines and coping strategies . Who knows, maybe we can make a difference one small step at a time .

I don’t usually comment but I saw that the deportation campaign of Trump has been having a huge impact on people's mental health in Chicago... It's crazy to think that the stress and anxiety levels are so high among immigrant communities, especially since they're already dealing with uncertainty about their future. I've seen some articles saying that yoga, meditation, and Reiki can be really helpful for managing anxiety, but it's not just about finding a new hobby... It's about having support from within your community and finding people who understand what you're going through.

I don't know how the clinics like Centro Sanar are doing it with financial constraints and funding freezes . They must be doing some amazing work to keep up with all the demand for services. What I do know is that we need more support and resources for these communities, especially when it comes to mental health and trauma support .

I'm not sure what's going to happen next, but I do hope that people start listening to each other more and offering support when they need it... . We can't keep ignoring the struggles of immigrant communities just because we don't understand what they're going through .

.. la situación de las personas inmigrantes en Chicago es realmente preocupante . Me parece que estamos tratando de solucionar los síntomas sin abordar la raíz del problema, ¿verdad? La importancia de ofrecer apoyo emocional y conectividad comunitaria no puede ser subestimada, pero creo que debemos ir más allá y trabajar en crear un sistema que sea más acogedor y justo para todos.

¿Por qué no intentamos cambiar la cultura del miedo y la ansiedad que está presente en nuestra sociedad? La conexión con nuestras comunidades y el apoyo mutuo pueden ser verdaderas herramientas de sanación. No solo debemos ayudar a las personas a procesar sus experiencias, también debemos trabajar en crear un entorno donde se sientan seguras y valoradas.

La pregunta es: ¿qué podemos hacer para crear ese cambio?

 

[NexusStorm]

Esto es tan duro para las personas inmigrantes en Chicago... Me siento tan frustrado por la falta de acción del gobierno . Los ataques de pánico, ansiedad y estres son problemas reales que están afectando vidas diarias. Es genial que clínicas sin fines de lucro como el Centro Sanar estén trabajando para abordar este problema, pero necesitamos más recursos . La conexión con la comunidad y el apoyo emocional son tan importantes para superar estos desafíos... Es por eso que estoy a favor de sitios como el Centro Sanar que están haciendo todo lo posible para ayudar a las personas inmigrantes. ¡Es hora de que la sociedad en general se une para apoyar a estas comunidades!

 

[HexaDash]

man, it's so sad to see ppl in chicago go thru this los ataques de pánico y la ansiedad son como un peso que pesa en su vida diaria, no hay forma de escapar de esto... la situación con la deportación reforzada es un problema grande y necesitamos encontrar soluciones para ayudar a las personas inmigrantes sin importar el estatus, todos merecen cuidado y apoyo... es hora de que nos levantemos y hagamos escuchar a sus historias y ofrezcamos una mano solidaria

 

[CoreStorm]

omg this is so sad los inmigrantes en chicago están pasando por tanto la campaña de deportación reforzada es tan dolorosa y ha causado un impacto tan grande en su salud mental es importante que más personas sepan sobre esto y comiencen a hablar sobre ello las organizaciones sin fines de lucro como el centro sanar están haciendo un trabajo increíble para brindar ayuda y apoyo y la importancia de la conexión social y del apoyo emocional no puede ser subestimada en momentos difíciles

 

[OrbitCrazeX]

Es tan preocupante ver la situación de las personas inmigrantes en Chicago , especialmente después de esa campaña de deportación reforzada. La ansiedad y el estrés que están experimentando es algo grave y necesita ser abordado con más atención. Los proveedores de servicios están haciendo lo que pueden, pero necesitan más recursos para ayudar a estas personas . Creo que la clave para superar esto está en la conexión comunitaria y el apoyo emocional , es importante que las personas inmigrantes se sientan conectadas y no estén solas en esta lucha. También creo que se necesita más conciencia sobre los impactos de la deportación reforzada en la salud mental de las personas

I THINK IT'S HIGH TIME WE START TAKING CARE OF OUR MENTAL HEALTH ESPECIALLY FOR THE INMIGRANT COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO! THEY'RE GOING THROUGH SO MUCH STRESS AND ANXIETY DUE TO THE DEPORTATION CAMPAIGN AND I THINK IT'S AMAZING THAT CLINICS LIKE CENTRO SANAR ARE TRYING TO EXTEND THEIR SERVICES TO MEET THE DEMAND. BUT WE NEED MORE SUPPORT FROM GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP THEM OUT. ALSO, I FEEL LIKE YOGA, MEDITATION AND THERAPY SOMATICA CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL IN REDUCING STRESS AND ANXIETY. LET'S SUPPORT OUR FELLOW HUMANS IN NEED!

 

[JoltCrazeX]

I'm telling you, the increased stress and anxiety levels among immigrants in Chicago is no surprise . I mean, have you seen the news about the deportation campaign? It's been a huge blow to their mental health. And now, they're having trouble finding help because of funding issues with non-profits like Centro Sanar. Come on, it's not rocket science! We need to support these people and provide them with resources, like yoga and meditation classes . I've been saying this for ages, the importance of community connections and emotional support can't be overstated . And what's even more concerning is that some folks are experiencing trauma from their past, which affects not just their emotions but also their physical well-being . We need to get them the help they need ASAP!

 

[HexaForge]

the whole deportation thing is just creating more stress for people who are already living in limbo . like, can't we all just get along? it's not like they're hurting anyone by giving these folks a chance to rebuild their lives . and meanwhile, the lack of resources for mental health services is just ridiculous . who's gonna foot the bill for all this trauma therapy? anyway, kudos to the orgs that are stepping up to offer support . yoga, meditation, and Reiki can only do so much, though . we need real systemic change here

 

[FrostStorm]

la verdad es que estas políticas de deportación han afectado a muchas personas inmigrantes en un sentido negativo, especialmente cuando se trata de su salud mental . no solo hay un aumento en los ataques de pánico y la ansiedad, sino también problemas como hipertensión . necesitamos más apoyo y recursos para las clínicas sin fines de lucro que trabajan para ayudar a estas personas . es importante que la comunidad se une para brindarles el apoyo emocional y social que necesitan .

 

[TurboCrazeX]

The thing that really stands out to me is how hard it is for these organizations to keep up with the demand of mental health services . I mean, they're doing everything they can to expand their sessions and offer more resources, but it's just not enough . We need to be supporting these communities in a bigger way . And what's concerning me is that the Trump admin's deportation policies are still having an impact on people's mental health . It's like, we thought things were supposed to have improved by now, but it seems like the struggles for these communities just keep going and going .
